τὸν τὸ καλὸν μελανεῦντα Θεόκριτον, εἰ μὲν ἔμ᾽ ἔχθει,
τετράκι μισοίης: εἰ δὲ φιλεῖ, φιλέοις:
ναίχι πρὸς εὐχαίτεω Γανυμήδεος, Οὐράνιε Ζεῦ,
καὶ σὺ ποτ᾽ ἠράσθης. οὐκέτι μακρὰ λέγω.

— Paton edition

If Theocritus, the beautifully brown, hate me, hate thou him, Zeus, four times as much, but if he love me, love him. Yea, by fair-haired Ganymede, celestial Zeus, thou too wert once in love. I say nothing further.

— Paton edition

Ce Théocrite aux beaux cheveux noirs, s’il me hait, accable-le de haine, et s’il m’aime, d’amour. Oui ! par les beaux cheveux de Ganymède, Zeus céleste, toi aussi tu as aimé. Je n’en dis pas plus long.
